Ginger, thanks for pics of owls & "ghetti" from earlier.  I've noticed that DNF has been on the Ladder Branch at night, but missed the owls and wing slaps.  Good to know that the eaglets have caught on to defending themselves.  Gotta think that a small owl might be just "counting coup" and not really attacking.   It's a tough world out there for eagles and all the other creatures.  One might hope that DNF discovers an owl nest like she did with the hawks.

About the ghetti, it's the time of year for deer to be giving birth.  Like you said, not so much the cattle.  The ghetti looks kind of old to me, so not from today but a few days ago maybe?  Doesn't help with what animal it came from.

TSK. Thanx. I just redid the window the other day. I did not make it as fancy as last time. It is construction paper! It looks nice and is a security feature... to stop anyone from looking in.

Okay. I had to go back to your snap and a take l longer look. I see that now

KB    String trimmer has many names and do believe that is one if "weed whacker" is also one  LOL

LISA  So frustrating and kind of depressing that appliances are not made to last.  Tim is a HUGE ice person but he buys his ice and likes a certain shape cube     He calls it "Frank Sinatra" ice - Have no idea where he got that from.      Sleep well.

TIG     When do you get your monitor results???  Your landscaping looks very neat and simple.  Love that brick wall.  Interesting design in the blue walled window 

CLYNN- there's a petrified forest Park in Sonoma County, California. Went there once with a high school girl friend and her family. It was just 9.5 hr drive on I-5 N

{{{Lisa}}}  There'll be times you'll see here as if she were there---with you. And, she will be. 
Yes---you'll will always think of you mom at 11AM . And those quiet conversations that only you can hear will be more precious than ever.
 
PUFF- enjoy you Chinese dinner tonight, sounds good. Maybe next weekend for  us.

TIG-  simply put---arthritis pain  is related to the barometric pressure in the atmosphere.   Bless Camper. Enjoy the game.

LANI tks for article on petrified logs will finish it later

Lisa - lengthy response sent back at you...

On three different nights recently DNF has been bothered by an owl -- a small one, so probably an Easter Screech Owl.  The first time it smacked her once and then was gone.  The second night it smacked her two separate times.  Then, last night she heard/saw it and vocalized, slapped wings, hissed.  I never saw the owl.  One of the eaglets also wing slapped last night.

This pic is NOT from last night.  Just before the hit (to the right of DNF)


Last night -- DNF reacts and eaglet wing slaps


Last night -- DNF comes down to nest


This afternoon DNF dropped off some "ghetti" -- either deer or cow.  I did see a pregnant doe there recently.  (However, Mod GABear said that "deer usually eat the placenta along with cleaning it all from the fawn, to reduce the scent and the chance of being found."  Kind of late for a cow to be calving though...)

The Norths perched in the Brush Pile Tree for a brief time about 8:00 this morning, then DNF flew back to the nest.  Correct that it's the BPT?

About 10:00, cam ops got great closeups of one of the eaglets, guessing DN17 because of slight upturn of mouth corners as described by Ginger yesterday.  Agree?

Yes, correct that it's BPT and also I think on your ID of DN17.

(((Lisa))), I'm glad you're getting some good rest this weekend, and hope you can keep that up. I think your Mama will be near you a lot, and you go right ahead with those daily conversations with her. I'm thinking of you and sending more hugs your way, with more sympathy and prayers for comfort as you grieve. Take care of you. Hugs.

Afternoon snack and naptime..............that isn't a crack in the egg, something is stuck to it.
